You could try the Weld knockoffs Summit and Jegs sell.  Easier to clean, inexpensive, and good load ratings.

Do you want drag tires? 15" rims for a stockish setup and look, 17"+ rims to clear giant brakes and small side wall for autocross? Looking for cheaper tires then the limited stock 14" tire sizes? Want to run big and littles?

Lots more to this then just what size would you run.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Honestly, a set of stock 10-holes would probably be the best looking wheel you could put on that car, with 235/60R15 tires.

I have 235/60's up front and 275/60's in the rear on ten holes. I really like the look, but ill be going to replace the rears with 275/50's next time. They barely rub with alot of weight in the trunk and the speedo is off by 10% or so.

Anyone opposed to the weld prostar 4 lug version by vision at McCormick racing for $100 each..$400 shipped.X

I know these are 5 lug but the site offers 4 lug.so w the $400'formfront and rears being 15x8 and 15x4 or 7 and 215/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear I'd probably be into them for $700 new..what do you guys think.
